Cardiovascular health is affected by environmental pollution, including microplastics and nanoplastics that have entered the food chain.

A new federal initiative seeks to develop stem cell treatments and other technology to repair brain tissue damaged by stroke, ...

The “missing link” helps adults grow new neurons—something long thought to end after childhood—and that discovery could lead ...

The potential for these kinds of machines to reshape computer processing, increase energy efficiency, and revolutionize ...

Existing three-dimensional (3D) neuronal culture technology has limitations in brain research due to the difficulty of ...

This study identifies key genes regulating neural crest functions in melanoma, revealing insights into collective migration ...

Humans can't regenerate heart muscle damaged by disease, but scientists have long known that some animals, such as zebrafish, can.Researchers have now ...

Zebrafish have the rare ability to regenerate their heart muscle after major damage, unlike humans. Researchers have now ...

A new machine learning model shows that star-shaped brain cells may be responsible for the brain's memory capacity, and someday, it could inspire advances in AI and Alzheimer's research.

Unlike neural crest stem cells, pNSCs can sustain neurogenesis over time and are easier to access than their brain-based counterparts. If similar cells are found in humans, they could become a ...

Neuroblastoma (NB) childhood cancers, associated with amplification of the MYCN oncogene, present an undifferentiated phenotype and are challenging to treat. This study reports MYCN cooperation with ...

A University of Toronto study reveals that neural crest stem cells, found in the skin and other areas, are responsible for the generation of reprogrammed neurons, contradicting the prevailing theory.
